DrawSQL — Developer Tools

Free · from $19/mo

About DrawSQL

DrawSQL replaces whiteboard sketches and stale screenshots with a live, interactive database schema designer that runs in your browser. You drag tables, define relationships, organize by domain with groups and notes, and keep even large schemas (80+ tables) navigable.

What it does

You design schemas visually, then export DDL for MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server — or export as Laravel migrations and JSON. You can import existing SQL to reverse-engineer a diagram, start from 200+ real-world templates (SaaS, e-commerce, CRM, and more), and embed live diagrams in Notion, Confluence, or any page that supports embeds.

Best for

Backend developers planning database architecture, data teams documenting schemas for onboarding, and remote teams running architecture reviews and tech planning on a shared, real-time diagram instead of a screenshare.
